Further thoughts on ASD

I recently asked if I have Asperger's and whether it really matters much at my age. I've done a bit more research, and in studies about 80% of people on the spectrum score that high, and 0% people not on the spectrum do, so it seems to be a test to rule out ASD rather than rule it in. So that part of the question is fairly convincingly answered in my mind. The other part, I'm still undecided on. I've put some feelers out with local psychiatrist offices, though, to see about whether the can do adult diagnosis, but, again, because of my social anxiety, I'm not sure I would want anything beyond that.
